OLED Display & Backlit Text Simplify Installation and Troubleshooting
The display elements change contextually, based on the equipment profile and application processes. For example, when controlling an airflow damper, percent open, room temperature, and airflow temperatures would display. The technician can see live performance data, setup initial configurations such as zone pairing, and override controls to diagnose equipment problems. Illuminated text confirms ports in use for applications.

Part of an Easily-deployed, Vertically-integrated Smart Building Automation System
The 75F Smart Node uses secure, proprietary 900Mhz communications with the 75F® Central Control Unittm (CCU), serving as a field controller, which also offers direct equipment control. Manage your entire system from the 75F® Facilisighttm suite of web and mobile apps. Remote monitoring and management, including scheduling changes across hundreds of buildings with a single click.
